Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) has been ruled out for their Sunday night game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 22-year-old was able to play in their last four consecutive games and received the start in three of them. This will be only his fourth missed game of the season, but there's a chance that it might not have as big of an impact since the Blazers have eight players listed as out or questionable. While Williams is sidelined in this contest, Jevon Carter and Dalen Terry will likely see some added minutes while Ayo Dosunmu will probably move into the starting lineup to create a smaller starting five.


Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) remains out on Sunday against Memphis. He's been battling a hamstring issue, keeping him off the floor for nine of the Pacers' last 10 games. Fortunately, the 23-year-old will practice on Monday, so he's moving in the right direction. But there's a good chance he'll miss Indiana's upcoming games in Boston and New York, at the very least. Nonetheless, T.J. McConnell (personal) could continue to see more work until Haliburton returns. However, McConnell may not suit up versus the Grizzlies, meaning Andrew Nembhard may handle most of the duties at the one spot.


Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) won't play on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 27-year-old had scored at least 20 points in three of his four appearances ahead of Friday's win over the Phoenix Suns. However, he'll now miss Sunday's game because of back spasms. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) still out, Pascal Siakam, Buddy Hield, and Andrew Nembhard could lead the way offensively, giving all three men added value in all fantasy setups.


Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) isn't available for Sunday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. The 27-year-old missed Wednesday's win over the Miami Heat because of a thigh issue. But he returned against the Magic on Friday night, finishing with 15 points, six assists, and a steal while shooting 50% from behind the arc. The Grizzlies haven't had Ja Morant (shoulder) and Desmond Bane (ankle), so Kennard has been a pivotal part of the offense. However, without Kennard in the lineup, Jacob Gilyard, averaging 6.6 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.0 steals in 10 starts this season, should fill the void in the rotation. There's also a place in deep league fantasy lineups for Santi Aldama, John Konchar, and Ziaire Williams.


Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (toe) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but he'll ultimately suit up. The expectation is that Kleber will serve as the backup center to Dereck Lively II during Saturday's game. There probably won't be enough minutes available for Kleber to be worth looking at in most fantasy formats.
